Zack - Oxford tutor






Information About Zack:


Personal Description:

I am now an undergraduate in University of Oxford reading Mathematics and Statistics. I am comfortable with teaching Mathematics up to A levels and especially keen in training students for Maths Olympiad. I have first hand experience when it comes to dealing with primary school Maths Olympiad as I was one of the 8 representatives of Malaysia to participate in the 5th Primary Mathematics World Contest held in Hong Kong. Besides, I also won the individual third place for the Asia Pacific Maths Olympiad for Primary Schools conducted in Singapore.

Chinese/Mandarin is my native language and I have been studying it for more than 12 years. I have a strong command of both written and spoken Mandarin. I will be glad to teach this subject whether in writing or speaking.



Teaching Experience:

I started teaching when I was studying for my A levels. I was a personal tutor of a 14-year old student in Chinese/Mandarin and Sciences from February 2007 to October 2007. After finishing my A levels in November 2007, I took up a job at an education centre in Singapore as a Maths Olympiad Projects Assistant and Trainer. Within this 7 months, I was heavily involved in conducting lesson groups and workshops for Maths Olympiad all over Singapore as well as writing training materials for the students.



Tutoring Approach:

For mathematics and sciences, I will be helping the student to understand and grasp the concepts instead of practicing rote learning. More time will be spent on solving problems for mathematics.

For Chinese/Mandarin, the teaching approach can be flexible to suit the students needs.
